Pedigree:
Premium stallion Nirvano is the first KWPN-approved son of performance champion For Ferrero, a son of For Romance, who was twice crowned Oldenburg champion stallion. For Ferrero is currently competing successfully at ZZ-Zwaar level. Nirvano’s dam is Hitricia, a ster and PROK mare by the stallion Charmeur, who performed at the international Grand Prix level under Madeleine Witte-Vrees. Nirvano’s granddam, Dujardin, is a daughter of the preferent dressage sire Vivaldi and holds the elite, sport-(dressage), IBOP-(dressage), and PROK predicates. Dujardin has also competed at ZZ-Licht level in the sport. Nirvano’s dam line continues with Itricia, a preferent performance mare by Wolfgang. Itricia is the dam of the Small Tour horse Apart (by United), the international 1.60m showjumper Channel (by Rascin), the Z-level driving dressage horse Gracieuze (by Charmeur), and the 1.35m showjumper Nando (by Ircolando). Additionally, Itricia is the grandmother and great-grandmother of numerous successful jumping and dressage horses competing in the sport.
